12 months of record ocean heat has scientists puzzled and concerned. “What we see now driving high temperatures is something in addition to El Niño and can’t be explained by the arguments being given six months ago or 12 months ago.” “Sea surface temperatures are higher elsewhere and very far from El Niño locations.” “It’s not just an entire year of record-breaking ocean temperatures, but it’s the margin it’s breaking them by — it’s not even close to what the previous record was.” “That’s what’s raising the eyebrows of a lot of people.” “I pray we’re having a once-in-a-lifetime year of hot sea surface temperatures, but I do fear there may be something else going on that is causing a long-term change in sea surface temperatures we hadn’t predicted.” “All bets are off now, this is something that is so unusual, it’s challenging our past expectations.” “It takes a lot of heat to raise water’s temperature.” nbcnews.com/science/enviro… via @nbcnews
Is anyone counting up #wasteheat from #SteamAge #electricity, it matters not the heat source, steam emits 2-joules of wasteheat per #watt #on_the_wire Then, wasteheat gets #greenhoused times 1.7-aggi kept by the planet pr 3.4-joules/watt on_the_wire So, add up all the thermal plant output multiply by 3.4-joules/watt you'll see where the heat is coming from ... 📚 #IndustrialDesign🗜#Archeology #Geophysics #Oceanography #Paleontology #Astronautics ~ #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow #ClimateBrawl #GlobalWarming #PETM ~ @DrJillStein @GreenPartyUS @GreenPartyWA gp.org/platform
